Xi 'er's words made Chen Yu and the rest happy. What Xi' er said was exactly what they wanted. Ning Tian could not take it anymore. He looked up at Xi 'er, who was a head taller than him, and his scarlet pupils moved rapidly. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will take half of the vehicles, and I want three-quarters of the weapons. Tomorrow, I will ask Zhang Xiaoqiang to send you two trucks of food. How about that?"
While Zhang Xiaoqiang and Zhang Cheng were feigning civility with each other, the Ning brothers and Xi 'er had finally conquered the entire settlement. The buildings were burned into giant torches under the night sky, and the dazzling flames lit up the entire settlement as if it was daytime. In the ruins of the settlement, corpses were piled up on the ground, and hundreds of rifles were piled up together. The captives were kneeling on the ground with their hands on their heads, waiting to be taken care of by the victors. One by one, the wounded looked at the guns that were shooting at them in despair. There were even more survivors that were driven from all corners to the center of the square to be screened.
Xi 'er had agreed to Ning Tian's suggestion, but it made him extremely angry. It was obvious that Xi' er did not trust the two brothers by using the bullets and vehicles as collateral. He turned to Ning Haiya, and Ning Haiya nodded. The situation here was complicated, and he and Zhang Xiaoqiang were not Xi 'er's opponents. Zhang Xiaoqiang would not blame them either. It was worth it to use food to exchange for supplies. Compared to Zhang Xiaoqiang, Ning Haiya was more practical. Once he drew a line with Xi' er, he would not hesitate. Although Ning Tian had drawn a line with Xi 'er on the surface, he was still on Xi' er's side.
Chen Yu's words made the faces of the ordinary soldiers turn pale. The rifles in their hands were hurting, but they did not dare to talk back to Chen Yu, an evolver. They could only grit their teeth and bear with it. Ning Haiya could not help but say, "Chen Yu, we have killed enemies together. There is no need to be so mean, right?
Little Tian said that in the future, if Sister Xi 'er asks, we'll do whatever we can for you. Let's part on good terms. Let's all take a step back. You can pick the items first and leave some for us … "
Yesterday, Ning Tian was still following behind Xi 'er and calling her sister. Today, they had to draw their swords and crossbows for their own interests. There weren't many spoils of war, just a small car, two large trucks, and a large amount of fuel. Other than that, there were a total of 1,100 survivors. Among them, there were more than 400 women and children. There were almost no young children. Some of the children were girls around the age of 14 or 15. There were also more than 100 captives and a few hundred rifles. As for resources, other than those charcoal-like things, there was almost nothing else.
The Ning brothers' suggestion had indeed hit Xi 'er's weak spot. Tonight's main goal was to gather food, but unfortunately, it had been burned down. Without adult men as a source of soldiers, even if they had guns, they would be useless. Handing them over to the children would only send them to their deaths. She did not want to see her classmates die in front of her again. She also did not want to see the struggling eyes of the boys who were armed with rifles and wanted to rush out to join the big forces in exchange for a bowl of food.
"Without Sister Xi 'er, even if all of you die, you can't win. These things are all Sister Xi' er's …"
"I'll take 30 guns and all the bullets and vehicles. Tomorrow, give us three trucks of food and I'll give you this truck and the bullets …"
"We've long wanted to send food to you, but we didn't do anything and didn't dare to ask. What you guys lack isn't weapons or anything else, what you lack is food …"
Ning Tian turned his head and glared at his brother. This made Ning Haiya very depressed. He was not happy to be scolded by his brother. However, Ning Tian who was still in a state of bloodlust couldn't be bothered. He retreated to the side and squatted down. He didn't care about this matter anymore. Ning Tian slowly turned his head and stared at Xi 'er. He said word by word, "After tonight, everything here will be under our control. You can be unhappy with me, but you can't be unhappy with Zhang Xiaoqiang. Zhang Xiaoqiang can forgive you once, but he won't do it again. I don't know how to talk about big principles, but I believe you can tell …"
"Shut up …"
The Ning brothers were clearly separated from Xi 'er and the rest, doing their own things along an invisible line. This time, the battle was extremely tough. The two brothers were dyed black by the thick smoke and blood, and there were many injuries on their bodies. Compared to the wound on Xi' er's cheek, half of Ning Tian's shoulder was wrapped in bandages and was dark red, which looked extremely scary. At this time, an evolved human almost tore off half of Ning Tian's shoulder. According to his age, such an injury would definitely cause him to hover between life and death, but Ning Tian did not even frown. Like a little adult, he commanded the remaining 72 soldiers to gather the corpses of his comrades. Looking at his calm appearance, even though his former comrades knew that he had betrayed them, they still looked at him with respect. The two girls looked at Ning Tian's pale and determined face, and they almost bit their little red lips. The hundreds of women and children under Xi 'er used all kinds of tools to search for edible food in the burned down granary. On the other hand, the group of survivors who had just been chased out did not have anyone to greet them. They squatted on the ground in fear and looked at the various people on both sides.
Evolved humans liked to keep food and precious resources by their side. When their houses were burned down, these resources were also destroyed. Xi 'er had no choice but to let the underage children go to the battlefield with her for these resources, but she didn't expect it to be like this. The Ning brothers naturally didn't care about these things. What they needed were the people here. The goal of the battle had been achieved, and there were food and resources in the station. Even if they didn't get any resources, it didn't matter. When they finally faced each other to divide the spoils of war, both sides felt strange.
Ning Tian was young, and the soldiers who died in the battle were older than him. They didn't dare to call him brothers and directly called him brother. This made the soldiers standing behind him feel touched. They couldn't help but puff out their chests and cheer for Ning Tian. Chen Yu, whose head was wrapped in bandages, sneered disdainfully, "They are just a few ordinary people. So what if they died?
It's not like we don't have people who died here. They used to follow behind you and call you brother. Do you really have the heart to let your brothers die in vain? "
Hardship made people mature early. Ning Tian, who was only a little over ten years old, and Xi 'er, who was also a little over ten years old, spoke with the mindset of an adult. Xi' er was moved by Ning Tian's words. She frowned and looked at the things that were exchanged with human lives and blood. In her heart, almost a thousand evolved humans were worthless. It was fine even if she didn't want any of them. However, she didn't want to hand over the weapons, vehicles, and fuel. Once she had a vehicle in the future, with her skills, she might be able to get more resources.
Little Sister Hong was always stingy. When she asked her to take all the spoils of war, Ning Haiya opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. In the past, he couldn't win against Little Sister Hong with her sharp tongue. Now that both sides had different standpoints, he naturally didn't know what to say. However, he didn't expect Ning Tian, who usually didn't give any ideas, to open his mouth, "Dream on. My brothers died in vain?
So many people died, and I got nothing. How can I face others? "
Ning Haiya didn't squat at the side and drew circles. He stood up and walked to Ning Tian's side. He said to Xi 'er seriously,
The four evolved humans also caused a lot of damage to Xi 'er's side. The girls surrounded the few children who died in the battle and shed tears. These children weren't old. Even when they died, they were still holding onto rifles that were taller than them. These children's bulging bellies and bony chests told of their hunger. The various terrifying wounds on their bodies and their bodies that were covered in blood were telling of their bravery. Xi' er stood at the side and stared at the burning building sadly. There were still two children's bodies that hadn't been snatched back. They were burned together with the few infantrymen under Ning Tian.
